'He didn’t go to fight a war…he didn’t board an aeroplane and travel thousands of miles to fight in some one elses country…He fought when the soldiers came to his road…his town… his place. Martin Mc Guinness fought back… there will always be those that fight back. I never had my father or my brother dragged out of my house by the hair being beaten and kicked by thugs in uniform. The war came to them… Mc Guinness made peace… the people saw their strongest warrior compromise and reach out to his enemies with a genuine wish and they followed him and the killings stopped. A great man died today. R. I. P ’
